Is this the logical conclusion of music as an art form? Where could it possibly go after this? Does this represent the human brain's highest capacity to create art? How could the formula of music ever improve beyond this point? Since there is nowhere to go after this, no way to ever top this, no way to surpass this in any way should every band, every musician just give up at this point? What human being could possibly add anything more to the concept of music after this album? Why would you even try? How could you even try? What could you possibly do to add innovation after this has been released? Is this the 10/10 rating that Scaruffi has been holding back to give? Even after our biological evolution has ended, even after we have mastered transhumanism, even after the universe has become one living, thinking AI with every single atom, all 10^82 of them being used to create something with more artistic value than this album, could it be done? I think not. I think there is nowhere to progress in music. I think we have reached the end. There is no point in trying to create music anymore. There is no point in trying to search for music anymore because this is the greatest it can get. Humanity has created its greatest achievement.Talking about TBK by the way
Vampy week got 9.3
Modern Vampires got a 9.3
oh god, tbk got only as much as reflektor
>>46750404>implying swans are white
>>46750604>>46750603dat hivemind
>>46750603>>46750604OP BTFO
>>467504049.3 is the max
>>46750658Shields got a 9.4
Will a rock record ever get a 10.0 from pitchfork again?
>>46750691Shields got a 9.1 dumbass
>>46750691It got a 9.1 two years ago.
>>46750404am I a contrarian if I hate all three of those albums?
>>46750744no
>>46750744yes. the two shit ones are bad, but hating swans is too far.
>>46750803>now
>>46750797>hating swansnot 'hate' more like.. it's a 6/10 for me.
If Kanye releases another album this year, it'll likely get at least a 9.5 which means we'll have another AOTY list dominated by memerap.
>>46750744no you're a plebalsobenji>>>>>tbk=reflektor=bland derivative shit
>>46750700only if it's a reissue
>implying kanye isn't white
>>46750700furthering the pursuit of exposing the caucasiarchy, kanye west will release a rock and roll concept album about a brave black man re-appropriating the music that white's stole from the starving black artists of the 30s and ryan schreiber will give it a 10.1
>>46750803Why don't you post their most recent record fuccboi.
>>46750820okay, you're fine.
>>46750863I hope this happens and I hope he picks up a guitar a la Lil Wayne.
>>46750825wow what a #patrician, right? he definitely forms his own opinions. you can tell because they're different. what an interesting anonymous person.
>>46750872Gee, wonder why...
Is this suppose to be a bad thing?
All of those albums are shit, so who cares
Reflektor and Benji are utter shit. Reflektor - 4.3Benji - 0.6
>>46751160fuck off filthy redditor
>>46751237Because it would show the declining scores of white music and prove OPs point?
>>46751378why not just give it a 0? what is 0.6 points of credibility to you?
>>46751393i don't even get how reddit works. whenever i've tried to go there i've just been confused. it seems like the comments on posts are ordered completely at random.
>>467514450.6 is closer to 1 so why not give it a 1
modest mouse got a 9.8 on the moon and Antarctica, and isaac brock is the whitest motherfuckeri don't understand this thread
>>46751445i have no idea i just picked a random score (below 2) because that's what pitchfork does
>>46751485>not reading OP's question>also not mentioning Wilco, Trail of the dead, Radiohead
>>46751485>now
>>46750404None of these even deserve a 9.2They're all 7's except Benji which is like a 5 or 6
>>46751418I seriously doubt that this is a race matter. It's simply a case of the ten-year hype cycle and p4k trendhopping to mainstream hip-hop/r&b acts, most of which would end up being black.
>p4k only likes shitty rap and or hip hop>p4k only likes shitty generic indie shit>p4k only likes shitty baby mealWhy do people like this site?It's like babbys first foray into non-hipster hipster shit to make people think they're unique because they listen to a band with 500,000 listeners opposed to 1 million
reflektor was so badi didn't enjoy that at all, i really did try too. 6 full listens and nothing.benji, it's not really the type of music i'm into but i guess i understand why people like it.TBK is the best album i've heard in a long time.
>>46751667I don't think Pitchfork has reviewed Babymetal yet though.
people shit on how only fags care about p4k scores all day, and they get butt-hurt when they give shit reviews as always.>>46750603>>46750604it's an amazing album, you don't have to hate everything all this /mu/fags pretend to hate. it's different and still good, deal with it.
>>46751667>a website likes music I don't like so it must be shitty
That Sun Kil Moon album was pretty bland, Reklektor was an 8.2 at best, TBK deserved that 9.2 or less.Or... you know, you can just have a personal opinion and realize that rating music is stupid.
Benji deserved a 10/10TBK deserved at least a 9.5Reflektor deserved a 2/10.
>>46751940>Benji deserved a 10/10top lel
>>46751940quality kek 10/10 would filter again
>>46750872>fuccboi
>>46751990It's the logical conclusion to music.>>46751990Buttblasted AF fan detected.
>>46751940>Benji deserved a 10/10You never cease to amaze me, Antz.
>>46751990>>46752028these are the typical responses of the new swans fans (i.e. newfags)>top lel>quality kek 10/10 would filter again
>>46752176>implying they weren't talking about benji>implying swans deserves anything over a 9.2this is the typical response of an oldfag wannabe
>>46750603>>46750604they are mad gay tho
>>46752176What do those to posts have to do with Swans? That's a typical response of anyone poster on /mu/.
>>46750691Shields got a 9.1
>>46752318*those two
>>46752264>implying you understood my point>implying tbk isn't shit
>>46751826>a website people here like reviews medicore music and gives it high scores they don't deserve which is why I don't like itIt shouldn't even be a credible reviewing site with the limited genres they put out and the terrible scores they give
>>46750642This is a priori true anon, synthetic
>>46750803woah how is it moving
White devil getting what it had coming to him. You just can't steal black men's music (yes all white music was stolen from earlier black music) and not expect backlash from people who aren't neo-nazis.
>>46751667they used to carry a significant amount of clout in the mid 2000s, regardless of actual critical quality, and a low score could effectively end a burgeoning indie band's careersince the lines between the mainstream and "indie" branches of music have recently been blurring considerably, pitchfork's clout is reduced and their ridiculousness is becoming more apparent
>judging music on a /100 systemWhy do this? What's the justification for giving something a 9.2 instead of a 9.1 or a 9.3? It just makes it look like they're pulling numbers out of their ass.
>>46752780kek
>>46750603>Vampire Weekend>white
>>46752873>why 9.2 instead of 9.1 or 9.3>why 7 instead of 8 or 6
>>46752873Tip: They are.They really rate from 0-4 out of 5 based on what the reviewer thinks and decide the rest based entirely off of other criteria not related to quality, like appeal, renown, if they've previously released good music, etc.
>>46752973Are you retarded?
Rounding it off at least provides the ability to break it off into tiers. The seperation of 6 from a 7 makes a hell of a lot more sense than what separates a 6.6 from a 6.7. They're virtually the exact same number so why even bother making the distinction?
>>46752980This is false.Pitchfork gets the staff together and decides collectively what the score is going to be before. Some of the senior staff, however, have the ability to basically override this and decide what the score is going to be. They then give it to a writer and tell them to write a review that matches the score. Reviews are often influenced by how much traffic they think a positive review would generate.
>>46750404Did Reflektor really get a 9.2? Jesus, it certainly didn't deserve it. I mean neither did Benji, but yolo.
>>46753190They actually just roll five D20 and sum them, they shave off low or high faces to avoid scores outside the range they want. They'll drop a zero if its post-ironic enough too
>>46753208>Lindsay Zoladz>muh strong feminist influence
Pitchfork is for plebs why are you fucks talking about this?It's like caring what reddit says about music, fucking mindless
